Bradley told me turning the shock would adjust the height. Turning it to the right lowers it and left will raise it.

The bottom ring locks the base. The very top one adjusts the spring preload and the one under it locks it. You have to unlock both to turn the shock. I ended up using the collar to lock the spring preload to turn the shock because I didn't have enough room to turn the shock since it was set so low

I think they are just the type of people that claim everything they have is the best.
I do not deny the handling of the RX8, but to call out the Z like that pissed me off.
who cares I have fun and will do it every weekend if i can! (bye bye tires/brakes)

Werd. Fortunately we can add suspension... yet they can't find torque

Springs helped my car a good bit at that auto-x I met you at. Def. worth it.

My uncle has an RX-8 and rants the same way about how his car is faster than the Z. We had a little run on the interstate, and I pulled on him with balled tires and a worn clutch. His car is def. a beast on corners though. I believe both cars are well designed but I prefer my Z over an RX-8.

What brand/size spacers did you get? Looking to get some while I'm rocking stockers.

How much for fender rolling soleil?

Wow, this thread is insane. You guys need to start a Louisiana Z forum. I'm certain that this is the longest thread i have ever seen....EVER. Has it ever been 'cleaned up' or are all posts still here?
